Subject: NY Transportation Museum Author: Kilobytemangler [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:04:33 06/21/09 Sun http://www.nymtmuseum.org/ has some wonderful exhibits more related to passenger RR service and streetcars, but still of interest to rail fans. Open only on Sundays - 11 to 5. I'm sure that there are many of these around the country. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Well if you feel like riding behind steam, and were willing to travel a bit further you could drop in on 'my' turf: http://www.discoveryforest.com/?our-locomotives,73 I have run some of the engines that are on display at the Duncan Forest Museum - I ran the Hillcrest Shay a couple of times and have run both Susie and Sampson (The two Vulcan locomotives) I also rode as fireman on the Hillcrest Climax, but not at the Forest Museum.

Indeed. The shop tour at the Steamtown National Historic Site: http://www.nps.gov/stea was pretty interesting. It's a working shop, so you get to see the bits & pieces of whatever they are repairing at the time of your visit. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

My early memories, on the other side of the pond, are of Jub's and Scot's, Black 5's and Crab's. But best of all Duchesses and Princess's, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Princess_Coronation_Class_6229_Duchess_of_Hamilton) and also a few Brit's. Before moving to the area of God's Wonderful Railway (GWR - AKA Great Western {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Western_Railway#Locomotives}) with its Castles and Kings.

Yes, there are many of them around the country. In my area I know of three, two of which offer rides on their trains. One also has several historic locomotives and railroad cars, including a '40 et 8'. The most impressive museum I have seen is in Wes's neighborhood, the B & O Railroad Museum. ttp://www.borail.org/ PlainBill [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
